My request consists in this: that we follow the appeal of the previous comrade and intensify work within our country. It is necessary to understand the full necessity of this, because we are working on the improvement of peasant agriculture, and for this far more energy is required than before, and we are confident that we shall accomplish this. (Applause. The orchestra performs "The Internationale.")
